Expandable memory | USB OTG ready

16GB is already fine, but a micro SD card (up to 64GB) boosts that capacity. Don’t forget that flash drives can easily be accessed by connecting a USB OTG dongle to the Infinity 2.

Calling, messaging, and other functions are just a swipe away

The MyPhone Infinity’s Quick Launch feature lets you unlock your phone and access directly your phone contacts, messages, and music playlist by just tapping or swiping on your phone when your screen is off. Just tap your phone’s LCD twice to unlock your phone, or swipe “S” for your SMS inbox, “C” for the phone contacts, and “M” to access your music application.

Battery stamina stretched

The Infinity 2’s 2,450 mAh battery stretches the time you can spend on your phone. Put this together with the low power consumption of its AMOLED display and Android Lollipop’s battery saver features and you can really stretch the fun times.

Faster network connectivity

The Infinity 2’s mix of LTE connection and an octa-core processor is a steal. Alongside your LTE powered SIM, sharing your status on Facebook, or posting your photos on Instagram will be faster than before.

Better pictures

That great color-beautiful AMOLED display is complemented with the Infinity 2’s cameras. The Infinity 2 brags a 13 megapixel Sony sensor camera with an aperture of F/2.0. This bigger aperture lets in more light to the sensor, thus creating a brighter photo even in low-light. It also has a 5 megapixel front camera with an LED flash that lets you take #selfies anytime. Don’t worry if the camera’s too close, INFINITY 2’s front camera has an 87 degree wide angle lens, perfect for your barkada #groufie!

Useful apps already installed

MyPhone has pre-installed apps – Pletoon, Legatalk, Fotoku, Clipster, and Chopchat – which were first made available in the Philippines through the new MyPhone units. Social media favorites Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WeChat are also embedded. No need to download them.

Thin but tough

The Infinity 2 is only 5.9 mm thin but is neither hard to grip nor fragile. It has an aluminum body: it’s tough. Its front face is also safe from scratches with the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 panel.
